Hi all...
Haven't posted in awhile. Don't know if I commented on the Florida pic but it was so nice to put a picture with a face. You all look great. And Chevy, the red heels you posted are really cool. I could never wear them, but you could dance the night away in them.
Thanks for the roll call list 2nd, lots of people on this thread.
Enerva, so glad you're doing lots better and got to ride your bike.
Hi to the newbies.....

Morning gals! I printed off those
pictures DD sent.... It was 7 PAGES! Ha!And each one means something... The picture of
Rosemary... well on our last morning there, they took us to this place called
HASH HOUSE A GO GO.... It is on International Drive in
Orlando...THEY serve this HUGE plate full of either these homemade
biscuits and homemade gravy, topped with an enormous piece of fried Chicken, OR
on top of a monster waffle topped with syrup! And every plate comes with a
Rosemary sprig... So when we got back to Sheri's house, I picked a bunch of
Rosemary.... now I don't know what to DO with it, but I have it just in
case.I have never seen so much food in my life on one plate!
That tractor is just inside the front door! I'm so glad we got to SEE this
place!We couldn't eat all the food, but they all took it home
for later, because we had to catch our flight...And that Chef, Guy Fieri was on TV, broadcasting from
Denver, in our neighborhood, while we were in Orlando, so that was fun watching
him.We had that Tiramisu one night... from Costco... and her
85 year old neighbor Giacomo made a big bowl of Shrimp, that we ate for 3
days.The Saturday Nite Cruise in Old Town was the BEST! All
the shops, and people, and we ate at A&W that night! Just like when we
were "Going Steady" in 1955-56!Well, y'all know Starbucks and Walmart, Publix and
Costco!We celebrated our Grand-son Chase's B-day one night, along
with DD's belated B-day... She was born a week before our 1st wedding
Anniversay, AND our 57 Anniversary was celebrated all in one
night.Sheri gave her "little" Sister her old "little-kiddle"
doll she found that she had kept ever since they were just kids!
..And Sass! Her dog's name is Penny-Lane! They call her
everything from "Pinks, Peebers, Peepers, and she is a mix of something... Ha!
She was rescued by their Son, and HIS dog and her LOVE playing
together.CAMMI! I HAVE to behave.... too many people around that
would report me... Ha, ha!So hello to you too Nettie... ! Thanks HIHo! You
played Tennis? Now THAT is hair-raising! Isn't that on cement or something?
But congratulations! That IS a great accomplishment. I have never played
Tennis... DD did, when she was here... I still have her silver platters she
won from competing with her friends...Morning Mom2! Yes, our first dog, "Chevy" used to try
and herd our GSons when they were little... Ha! He thought they were HIS when
they were born! Wouldn't let anyone near them, except me and their Mom! He
would even snap at their Dad when he tried to pick them up... I LOVED those
days! Just wish I could go back to "then" sometimes!Hi JWow! Your picture is sooo cute! It reminds me of
Lucy Lu! Or whatever her name is....Morning GG! Miss you too! And 22222222222! What was
THAT? A Drive By post? Ha!AZ.... Now what kind of name is that? I can't remember
your numbers... Is that your zip code or something? Can I just call you
Phoenix or something? I'm so glad you are here.... I love your pictures!
You fit right IN here! I really like the PARENTHOOD one....! So
funny!That is so funny, about the marry the cow one! I had SEEN
that one, but was afraid to POST it.... Ha, ha! Can't believe I was at one
time sort of "reserved".... but then neither can anyone ELSE on here....SASS! Okay, so yesterday, to add to my woes.... I broke
my car door handle! All I was trying to do is open the door! But it broke!
Damn thing just BROKE! I was in a quandary... But I saw where it "came out" of
some part, so I got it back in, and now I have to be careful, because it IS NOT
FIXED!BUT THAT IS JUST MORE INCENTIVE TO GO GET ANOTHER CAR!
And I am going to look online.... but I'm afraid to go to Craigs-list or
AutoTrader.com.... I just want to go to a place... and not have those other
problems or meet some dangerous felon or something... someone who would attack
me....Okay.... Maybe I'll go meet someone....
LittlePaws... I could not wear those shoes either... I
couldn't even try them on! And for SURE I couldn't stand UP in them...! But I
just had to have a picture with them.Spookie wears those shoes.... she is a loose woman....
she is what you would say a wild woman.... like Sassy is.... I"M the quiet
one......
Hi MoMom! That is so true.... about "healing".... We
will ALL be there someday!0 -
Aw Sassy, just because I've been able to sleep for a few nights does NOT mean that I've deserted you! I still read everything and sometimes I just don't have anything to say. But just so you don't think I've forgotten you, I will leave you with something.

Mags, that could be me this morning! Last night was awful!!Good morning all!!
Chevy, I love the stories and pics of your trip! Can't wait for the 12th, heading out for a much needed vacation myself!

Oh Chevy, falling out door handles. Of course buy a new car. Perfect solution. BTW the hip pain caused by Prius has been gone for weeks. Knew it would go away, just needed time. It was VERY expensive car seat that came with the van..Smarrty, I bought a new scales. The med I'm on for the eczema is causing weight gain too, besides the hypothyroid. Have to slow this down someway.
I have an instinct that if we PM or do a YooHoo Tang will magically appear
OH Mags and MM YAY

Got my first Halloween decoration up today! It was the craft project I started last year and I finally got it done and put together!

Okay, so now Mom2.... You have to take a picture!
Yes Sass...I don't think I want a "new" car.... just a newer one, and one with an AUTOMATIC..... Ha! It's hard to use a clutch AND because I can't HEAR too well, I have a hard time knowing when the engine is revving.... The clutch is okay, because my hip is better, with the clutch, but if I had a NORMAL persons hearing I would know when to shift....
I'm just a DUD! Thanks Nettie....! Hope you are feeling better.....Where are you headed to on your vacation?

Spookie, my neighbor just had to have one of her dogs eyes removed. This is her baby, she never had kids and she is really worried so I was telling her about your little baby.
Hello back at you HI

hi guys, here's a TBT for you. The left side was taken 5-1/2 years ago. The right side was yesterday. We are both smaller now. She did WW. I'm going to stick my picture up where it will remind me to be good.
She is the same one you saw in the booth I posted. Tomorrow I'm going to a sewing retreat with her and 15 others. If I get something done I'll post it.

YOU gals look MAHvelous! Good job!

Oh poor puppy and mom! I don't know who feels worse! I so hate when my fur kids are sick. And one of them just puked dinner outside. And they just got their TriFexis. ARRRRGGGGHHHH guess I'll find out which when I see a flea.

Nettie, wasn't that LilPaws that had Annie's eyes removed? I think she is doing great!
Man Spookie, I just hate when the "kids" are sick.....You know, everytime we drive by the Vets that put Lacee to sleep, I get big tears, and my heart just breaks.... I just would give anything if I could go in and get her.... I never thought I would never have her....! She was such a big part of our life.... I guess that's why I can't think of getting another one..... at least not for awhile..... take care of your babies..... xoxoxo

A FLEA???? Oh Dang! Where there is one, there is a million! We don't have them in these parts.... I think the Winter's are too cold for them....
Then on the other hand, you guys live in a Petri Dish.... Ha! EVERYthing grows there...! I LOVED your humidity, and found out "things" hurt around here.... The altitude must make aches and pains more prevalent ....I like that word.... probably spelled wrong...speaking of Cammi.... but the weather here is going to be getting pretty COLD soon!
Hey Mag, and Tang & you other gals! xoxo

Oh Smarrty, what a great pic !!!! I need more vegetables. This I know, but basically I dislike them. Always tolerated them before. Now I need them more than ever. Two more weeks before I can have the next blood test done. .....A sewing retreat, what a peaceful thought. How did Detroit go? Or did I miss that?
Tang, Magic __HUGS_
Chevy, my two jokes about hearing loss 1. the car always runs well until it gets very serious. Dh had to learn that one the hard way. By the time I told him something didn't sound right, the repair bill was much higher. 2. I always missed out on the really good gossip. The first thing people do when gossiping is lower their voices. The better the gossip the lower the voices.

Sassy, this is one of the breakfasts at Hash House A Go-Go in Orlando.... Their food is incredible.
But do you need hearing aids? They are just hard when so much noise is going on in a room.... I'm so glad we could eat out on the Patio at "our" restaurant.
I just thought that one day my hearing would come back.... but I'm just so used to it now... they said it would be permanent... but I didn't want to believe that.

I PROMISE one of the days I will catch up here. It has been a busy couple of weeks nothing bad except my danged car. I think I told you it almost caught fire on DH week b4 last. Brake part failed. Back to dealer. Then we went to Oklahoma last weekend, dentist yesterday. Just here and there.
Mostly got on here to wish safety to Tang. I think the weather has just passed her. Almost springlike storms, lots of trees, roof damage, electrical lines down throughout the metroplex. Had nothing here but a couple of spits of rain. I'm going to have to go water in a bit.
Hopefully I will catch up this weekend. DH home tomorrow which always affects my computer time. He used up 2 weeks vacation in Sept. Can you tell we never go anywhere much. Fun times tomorrow - off to get flu shots.
My love to everyone. Chevy - you must have already come and gone to Orlando.

Chevy, my hearing loss was picked up in childhood. I learned to "train" people. The hardest was in the operating room. With masks that cut down on me reading lips etc. But eventually, they learned. I get them tested every few years. The most irritating is DS, he's the only thing I've not been able to train him to do.
That dinner is awesome. I have visitors coming from Norway, Oct 25 th., dear cousins husbands sister. Planning for awhile. I asked what they might like for dinner. She said something "All American". The fried chicken with waffles is apparently a well known southern dish.
Any suggestions? They are apparently well seasoned world travelers. I had to laugh at the All American. I googled it. The list that came up, all has origins from other cultures.
HI! How did your lunch go??????? Glad you're back on the tarmac or is it grass?

Oh I just hate it when my furbabies are sick. Makes me feel helpless that I can't cure them of whatever is ailing them and then I feel like a bad mommy!

@22222 put up the list. Are you near Dallas----I forget.
The shits hitting the fan over the Ebola thing. P.O.'d they are laying it off on the nurse about not communicating it to the doc on the Thursday(not Friday) ER visit. It was in the record. Problem is the docs ignore the triage notes. Besides the Er doc is trained to ask the same things. The doc missed it. Can't even believe antibx's were prescribed. All the GI symptoms and a fever. Someone seeing a doc in ER after being in a highly infectious area and the patient didn't drop ANYTHING in the interchange to the doc. Hardly. The traffic in and out of the patients room would not have taken special precautions. Should have, but ER's see sooooooo many patients with fever and abdominal problems, nausea and vomiting. Then when the family member tried to alert the CDC and then locals. SNAFU. How was the EMS unit dispatched. Those tapes are still on the record. Can't believe a media type doesn't know this.
Things are going to get way messier. Not fueling fires. But anyone that believed there were only 12-18 contacts as being reported on this Wed., was just being ridiculous. Even the 100 identified, ridiculous. Hope there's no more, but there likely will be. Presbyterian never has identified how the patient was handled in ER and the ER waiting room. The household people were exposed in the most infectious time period. Four- five kids over wed. the 25th thru Sun 29th. ......Then they went to four different schools for two days. Whose to know if they had symptoms. Time will obviously tell.
Today the girlfriend was saying no one has contacted them to tell them what to do with the sheets. DUH. Why didn't CDC direct and monitor apartment clean up. Why was there a delay from Sunday till Wed. As soon as he was known to have been from Liberia ----which they knew Sunday night, all the control mechanisms should have been activated. There should have been an over reaction. The retrospect study of this is going to produce a lesson plan. The "we shoulda's" are NOT going to show preparedness. It will take Presbyterian years to recover their reputation.
I guarantee al medical/ nursing folks will have better "communication" in the future......Just hope containment is real.
Add to that the Enterovirus in 40 states that is showing some mimicry of polio, and flu season. SOOOOO glad I'm retired
I do give Dallas kudos for activating their Emergency Operations Center. Smart move. Very smart.

NETTIE, is your friends pup a Maltese named Izzy?
CHEVY Oh. My. Dog! Do people actually order and EAT that concoction? That needs a pink ribbon to complete it. That's disgusting

Spookie, no, it's a little male yorkie named Bear!
Ok, had a long post and lost it!! UGH!!
My doctor told me to start walking, need to build strength and lose weight! So I started about 2 weeks ago! The first walk I made two miles with not much trouble! No soreness the day after! Skipped a day due to weather and walked the third day, this time I barely made 1 1/2 before the pain in my leg and hip became severe! I made it home and almost within minutes of stopping, the pain was gone and there was no residual soreness! I've continued to try to walk at least 4 - 5 days a week, but the more I walk, the distance that I can go before the pain kicks in is less and less! Today I barely made a mile and the only way I made it was by stopping a few times!! And again, I've no residual soreness and not even in muscle issues! Of course, I'm probably not walking for enough to give my muscles a workout!! Just curious if anyone else has experienced this!
On another note, found out last night that my DIL is giving her little Yorkie away (I can't take him), he has been part of our family since at least 2009, don't remember exactly when they got him!! She says she doesn't have time for him now that she has a baby and another on the way!!! Just kills me!! I've always had animals, even when my kids were babies and I never had problems (and no she doesn't work, she is a stay at home mom) I'm just so heartbroken that she and my son can do this!! I could NEVER give away a pet, heck, I have a hard time giving away kitties that are raised here!! Anyway, I just think their generation is a little lazy! I love my kids and their spouses, but this just has me so upset!! If I didn't already have 6 dogs and about 20 cats, maybe I could consider taking him, but the fact that he is also and inside dog makes it even harder as DH has requested that I not have anymore inside dogs!! Anyway, I just needed to get that off my chest!! I cried all last night over this, it's like losing a family member for me, don't know why they can't see it that way!! And to top it off, in the text that she sent to tell me all of this, she then tells me that they will eventually get another dog, but it will be an outside dog! I think she forgot that they already did this and guess where that one ended up, yep you guessed it, she is now mine!! I will have talk with DS about all of this when I have a chance!! It's just not right!! At least that's my opinion!!
Sas, I agree with everything you said about the crap in Dallas! It's a scary time!! I have close friends that live in the Dallas area!!
Luv, I think that weather will be headed my way about midnight tonight! Yay me, I just love rough weather in the middle of the night when you can't see anything! NOT!!!
Chevy, that is some kind of food! I've never seen anything like it!!
And yes, SAS, isn't it weird that most "american" foods are NOT! LOL
Hugs to all that need them!!

drive by posting......
Smaarty,
. Amazing! All the hard work paid off!Chevy, thanks for great food pics, gotta get dinner going. That fried chicken looks so much better than the plain chicken and rice I'm making tonight for dinner.
Hoping to get to Dad's this weekend, no BIG projects planned so I can get caught up. Will try to post new roll call list at the beginning of the month.
For those not on Pinktober, check this out:
